Ghanaian members have a reputation on this site for being easy to start with and hard to stop writing to.
The country they describe runs between Accra's noise and the quieter pace of Kumasi, Cape Coast or the north, and members are usually keen to place themselves precisely rather than speak for the whole country. Letters cover family and the respect language that goes with it, church as a weekly anchor for many, WASSCE results and what comes after them, trotro routes and their unofficial timetables, chop bars and what is actually eaten at lunch, and the everyday economics of a young country where a great many people run something of their own.
English is the official language and members write it comfortably, so this is rarely about learning English. Twi is the language you will most often be offered, and it is worth taking up: a handful of greetings used correctly will earn you a warmer letter than a paragraph of apology for not knowing any.
Jollof will come up. So will highlife, hiplife and whatever is currently crossing over, and members can be very funny about the difference between what plays abroad and what plays at a Ghanaian wedding.
Good openings: ask what their region is known for within Ghana, what a Sunday looks like at their house, what they eat when they are at home rather than out, or what they would want a visitor to see after Accra. Ask them to teach you a greeting and when to use it.

Look into my eyes. They say it's not immediately noticeable, but it's memorable. Probably, like me, on the one hand a cool and calm man, on the other ardent and ambitious. I'm not looking for perfection, neither in myself nor in others. I value live contact that doesn't need to be pulled by a thread. I don't take life too seriously because at the end of everything death ends it all, I want to live so that I don't regret anything.

Active 2 weeks ago

My name is DanSam, and Iโ€™m a 46-year-old Ghanaian man looking to make genuine and lasting friendships with people in the United States, Europe, Canada or any other part of the world. Iโ€™m happy to connect with both men and women. Iโ€™m a choral singer and I have a great passion for music. I enjoy singing, writing songs, listening to music, watching movies, and watching football. I especially enjoy conversations about choral music and football, but Iโ€™m always interested in learning about other peopleโ€™s lives, cultures, interests, and experiences. I would particularly love to have a traditional pen-pal friendship, exchanging handwritten letters and postcards by regular mail. I also welcome WhatsApp communication as we get to know each other. Letโ€™s share stories, cultures, music, football, and friendship across the miles! ๐ŸŒโœ‰๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Best wishes, DanSam

Hello, my name is David Buabeng. I am from Ghana, West Africa. I am a teacher and an author, and I have been teaching for many years. I enjoy writing books, teaching, learning about different cultures, and making new friends from around the world. I have written books, including educational textbooks in Asante and Akuapem Twi, and I am also working on novels and other literary projects. I believe friendship is built on honesty, respect, kindness, and understanding. I would be very happy to learn about your country, culture, family, interests, and daily life, and of course, to share more about Ghana with you. It is a pleasure to meet you, and I hope our friendship will grow into a wonderful and lasting international friendship. Please thanks and stay blessed.
